General Mach Discussion / connect spindle to BL-UsbMach-V2.1
« on: July 03, 2021, 09:28:10 PM »
Hi Everyone,
Hopefully someone can help me. I have an 2.2KW Air Cooled Spindle Motor with an Huanyang HY series 220V Inverter VFD 3HP. I am trying to wire up the VFD and the spindle to my breakout board. However, the documentation I have is not that clear. I have attached a photo of my breakout board and a picture of my VFD, Greatly appreciate any help. At this time all I want is to connect the DCM and FOR (spindle On/Off) and the ACM and VI (spindle speed control) from the VFD to my Mach3 Usb breakout board. I have attached a photo of both my VFD and my breakout board. If someone can help me it would be greatly appreciated.

Thx

General Mach Discussion / CNC is doing everything backward

Hi Everyone,

I ran into a problem with my first project. I made a sign but when it finished the sign is a mirror image. Instead of left to right it did right to left but the sign came out as if I am looking into a mirror. What do I need to do in Mach3 software to fix this

General Mach Discussion / Need help with Mach3 and my cnc calibration
« on: July 15, 2018, 03:04:31 PM »
Hi wondering if I can get some help here. Here is how the problem occurred. I purchased the hardware from "Build your cnc" website back in 2013 and I built my own 2 x 4 cnc machine. Everything was put together with Mach3 and everything was working well with no issues. Last week I went to you my cnc machine. I turned it on and my computer and I heard a pop sound. Found out that my motherboard fried. I had windows xp pro 32bit installed on it. Like I said before this happened everything was working very well. I decided to change my lead screw from an 1/2" allthread ( 13 tpi) to a 1/2" 5 start and 10 TPI ACME precision lead screw. I installed the new leadscrew. Instead of installing windows xp again I decided to install windows 7, since it is compatible with Mach3. The only unfortunate part is that my new computer did not have a parallel port attached to the motherboard. So I went to purchase a PCI parallel port card. I installed the new parallel port card with the updated drivers. I reinstalled the updated version of Mach3. I copied and paste my licence to the root of the Mach3 folder. I was then ready to calibrate my cnc machine. When I tried to test the movement of the x,y, and z axis nothing moved. I then checked each pin of the parallel port to make sure it was get the necessary voltage and it was. does anyone have any ideas? I would hate to reinstall windows xp over again.

Thx

General Mach Discussion / X,Y, and Z axis not moving when using Mach3
« on: July 04, 2018, 08:24:25 PM »
Hi everyone. I was wondering if I can get some help. Let me give you some background on my problem. I built a 2 x4 cnc machine back in 2013 with the plans and hardware I purchased on the buildyourcnc.com website. So for 5 years I've been using the cnc machine with Mach 3 and windows xp with no issues. 2 weeks ago my computer harddrive blew. I had a newer computer running windows 7 32 bit. So I went to machsupport and downloaded Mach 3 R3.043. I copied and paste my licence in the root of Mach3 folder. I followed the set by set procedures to setup and calibrate Mach3 and my cnc machine. I also disabled the estop. Now when I try to move the x, y, or z axis my cnc machine will not move. when I plug in my parallel port and usb cable from my cnc box to my computer I hear a knock sound from all 3 motors telling me that the motors are starting up. However when I try to test my cnc to see if the axis move it does not. The only difference between when my cnc use to work and now is that I updated the operating system from windows xp to windows 7 32 bit and I changed the 3 leadscrews for the x,y and z axis to a acme 1/2" - 10 TPI 5 starts (2 turns per inch). Any ideas how to fix the issue.

Thx

General Mach Discussion / Speed up my cnc machine
« on: September 10, 2017, 10:55:34 AM »
Hello,

I purchased the hardware to build my own cnc back in 2014 or 2015. I want my cnc to move quicker. I want to update my lead screws on all 3 axis (X,Y and Z). The lead screws that came with the hardware of my cnc move slow and to do any project is time consuming. I researched lead screws and I found one that is 1/2" 5 start and 10 TPI ACME precision lead screw, which translates to 2 turns per inch. Will this make my cnc move quicker.  Let me know.

Thx Vince

General Mach Discussion / UC100 question
« on: September 10, 2017, 10:35:13 AM »
Hi Everyone, I want to purchase a UC100 so that I can use my cnc using the UC100 instead of a parallel port. I saw a few of them on ebay and amazon at a reasonable price. When I went to the CNCZone website they are saying that the UC100 on ebay, amazon and other websites are knockoffs and if you purchase them it will not work with the UC100 drivers on the CNCZone website. In fact the UC100 on the CNCZone is almost triple the price compared to other websites. It looks like they are pushing their product on their site. Has anyone in this forum purchased a UC100 lately. If so where can one find a reasonably priced UC100.

Thx

General Mach Discussion / Mach3 question
« on: September 09, 2017, 03:13:37 PM »
Hello

I purchased the Mach3 controller software about 5 years ago just before Windows 7 came out. At that time I installed the Mach3 software on my computer using Windows XP. At that time Mach3 did not work with Windows 7.  I want to install windows 7 on my computer. Can I reinstall my original Mach3 software on windows 7 or do I have to purchase a new up to date Mach3 for windows 7 ?

Thx
Vince
